Thoughts in Verse.

We have received book Of poems
under the above title from the facile
pen of Rev. George Clinton Rowe, pas
tor of the Plymouth Congregational
church of Charleston, S. G. 1t contains
seyenty-one poems on variety Of sub
jects ranging through all the different
human emotions the religious vein pre-
dominating. The work is very credit
able and is afectionately dedicated to
the mother of the author. We take
pleasure in speaking in praise of the
poems in this work, not because the
writer is Colored, but because the
poems are good. The work can be OBJ

1t was very gratifying to note the sue
cess of the Emancipation Day celebra-
ton at the Minneapolis Exposition. It
was very gratifying to have the man
ayers state that the attendance on that
day was larger than on any other ''spe-
cial" day, and that on that day nothing
was lost or stolen, and no one was ar
rested, and no disturbances of any kind
occurred; something that could not be
said for any other day since the exposi-
ton opened. 1t was very gratifying to
have the managers state that
Hon, John Mercer Langston was
the only speaker who could fill the hall
with his voice and hold the attention
of the vast audience through his speech
lasting three quarters of an hour. It
was gratifying to note the
good the impression made by
the Colored People who were present.
1t was gratifying to note the i'm partial,
fair and satisfactory manner in which
the newspapers in the twin cities re-
ported thesoccasion with the single ex-
ception of the st. Paul Globe, whose
low flung reporter assigned to that duty
let his nature get the better Of his
spirit of fairness, if, indeed, he pos
sessed any. We don't expect much
from Democrats as rule, but we
thought the management of the Globe
just enough to the Colored People to
prevent their hire.ings from making
peurile attempts at ridiculing them
where they deserve nothing but praise.
The occasion was grand and, grandly
carried out to a grand success.

We arc glad to notice that the aspir-
ants for legislative honors among the
Colored men of CINCINNATI are getting
out of the way of Col. Robert Harlan
and giving him clear track. One of
the unfortunate characteristics amoneus
Is, that as soon as one Colored man
undertakes to do anything, number of
others attempt to prevent him from sue
ceeding, III some way. We do not as a
rule, endavor to build up each other,
but to tear down. None of us are so
great, Or SO important, or so necessary
to this world, that so far as it's moving
along smoothly is concerned, our alb
sence would have a more visible in
fluence upon it that the extraction of
one drop of water from the Atlantic
ocean, therefor it matters little which
one OF US rises or falls except in so far
as we as a race rise or fall with him. 1t
certainly is better to 60 up in the scale
than down, and all our efforts should
have an upward tendency When any
one of us, who is worthy, gets to the
front, we should all Join in backing
him up and supporting him, and not by
backbiting and pickering endeavor to
tear him down. Especially should we
endeavOr to act as unit when our votes
can help Colored brother, for the sue
cess Of any one Of us, helps to raise all
of us a little higher--Wo can not Get
much lower than we now are in the
eyes of the dominant race-unitv is
needed among us, we must help one
another and then we will get more help
fromothers. We hope Col. Harlan will
receive the nomination for The legis-
lature and reelection by a large ma
jority.

The train-dispetcher, who produced ord
srs from the superintendent to decline to
FURNISH cars to private wheat-buyers at
stations where there are public elevators.
The defense then waived further exainin-
ntion, and bail WIS fixed at $40, 900.
The complainant intends TO fully test
biie law, and also bring. suit for damages,
aiving piled his wheat up by the track
opposed to the weather. Similar dis
s~riminations it is said, has been lone by
other railroads of the section refusing
ears to Independent buyers, who pay
from 2 to A cents per bushel more char the
elevators. There is naturally deep feeling
hrd much Indignation at this course OF
the roads.
The territorial commission Is trying to
break this monopoly. but does not seem
to have much influence with the roads.
In one locality, where the agent of the
farmers had been denied cars, the farm
ers took the matter into their own hands.
For several days no eLapty cars were left
at that station and the elevator became
full of grain. Then the railroad com.
pany hauled a lot of empty cars and
side-tracked them at the elevators,
giving the farmers warehouse none The
farmers had learned that the cars wer,
to be left, and they commenced to hau
grain and pile it up near their warehouse
alongside the track. When the empty
cars were left the farmers took then
from the elevators, in spite of protest,
and loaded their own grain into them
staying with them until the agent had
billed them and sent them away on the
first train. More serious trouble viii
arise II the roads continue this practice.

where he was a prisoner eleven moth
IND .syea1ays. At the close of the war
he was transferred from Mobile back to
Texas. In 1885 he was captured on the
Rio Grande by q band of Mexican ban
dts and held a prisoner by them nearly
twenty-five years, during which time he
made several Intellectual attempts to es-
cape, in the list OF which he received
two terrible wounds, neither of which
has yet healed. One is on his forehead
and the other inflicted with a copper
missile in his breast is six inches
in diameter. Last April the Next

made them all prisoners, himself
included. He told the story of
his captivity and was given an opportun-
ity to prove his citizenship, which he sue
ceeded in doing, and then was forwarded
to the American consul general at Mex
leo, who sent him to Vera Cruz, where
the vice-consul provided him passage TO
New York. He is now going to his
parents and other relatives supposed to
be living rear Alton, Ill. His right hand
aud foot are partly goue, and his whole
body is a mass of wounds. No less than
three gunshots rave passed through his
head. He is a most pitiable object, aud
his story bears every appearance OF truth.

Cutting Lumber Rates to Dakota.

ST. PAUL, MINI. Oct. 13.-The Chi
cago, Milwaukee 8 st. Paul will immed-
lately put in effect another cut of 5 cents
on lumber TO Dakota. j. C. Boyden
said that as soon IS the consent of the as
ISOLATION vas obtained the cut would be
made. AS a matter of fact. the road al
ready has the permission of the associa.
ton to meet any rate made by the Mani
toba, and as the association also has no
tice that the Chicago, Milwaukee 81 st.
Paul will insist on the 6-cent differential,
it is a mere matter of fern to give notice
of the cut. The original rates to Dakota
points involved was % cents from Mime
apolis and 80 cents from Cloquot. The
Manitoba and Northern Pacific have here
tofore had the whole field to themselves

LONDON, Oct. 13.-The report circu-
lated in Paris that Gen. Conite De Andlu
had committed suicide in Consequence of
Developments of the Catfareli scandal
having shown that he was to some extent
compromised cannot be affirmed and it is
generally discredited. 1t is believed,
however, that he has left the country but
nothing definite as to his whereabouts
can be learned. The story that he is in
Belgium finds many Delivers but the adj
ditional statement that he IS there merely
for the purpose of avoiding Imprisonment
pending his trial and will return and de
fend himself against the charges at the
proper time is no where accepted as true.
Although the police are as far as possible
Buppressing the revelations of this I'M
fortunate business on purely political
grounds, as they allege, it is pretty well
known that further arrests wall
shortly be made and that the
prisoners will include persons high in
official and social life who rave not
hitherto been suspected of connection
with the affair. The guilt of Gen. CAT
farrell with regard to the ELAN of mobi-
lization found among his effects and OBJ
viously furnished by him to Figaro is
conceded and sven if he were not con
csrned in the traffic In decorations his
manifest treachery in divulging war of.
fee records wonld insure his severe pun
ishment. All France is shocked at the
seeming %depray;ty of army officials and
the papers are teeming with indignant
articles hut the German press scarcely
notices the affair now, and the few ref
erences made to it dismiss the matter
with contempt.
